The Seventh Base

Chapter 1167: Chapter 213: Ruthless

Wu Lai felt a sense of unease, based on his experience he could sense someone was tracking him, but he couldn’t see who, which meant the person tracking was deliberately concealing themselves.

But he clearly understood that the more this was the case, the more dangerous it was.

“Wu Lai.” As the two sped forward, Asaka whispered.

“Someone’s tracking us.” Wu Lai responded, and the two burst into their peak speed, soon rushing out of the area.

Leaving this area, the dim Dark Star remained chaotic, battles abound everywhere, with foreign invaders and the Abyss Corps fighting, and Abyss Monsters active everywhere.

The person watching them still hadn’t taken action, seemingly deliberately letting them run a bit farther.

Wu Lai knew that the person tracking them had never left, hadn’t been shaken off, adding to his unease.

If it’s someone from the Church or other factions, they shouldn’t need to do this, who is the person tracking him?

“Asaka, if anything happens, you take Shava and go.” Wu Lai spoke softly.

“No.” Asaka sensed from Wu Lai’s words what was about to happen, like Wu Lai was giving final instructions.

“Our signal is being blocked, someone must have a jamming device, blocking our ability to send messages within a certain range.” Wu Lai’s voice was serious: “If it’s the Church or other factions, there’s no need for this, so… they must not let anyone know.”

“Asaka, be rational, you must take Shava and go out, notify the Mystic God Temple, Rodrigo wants to kill us, once you escape, leave the jamming area, Rodrigo wouldn’t dare kill me, otherwise, we’ll all be dead…”

Wu Lai, older and experienced, had guessed who was tracking them, now all factions need to jam messages, and assassinate them, it’s likely only Rodrigo.

Asaka’s face turned pale, she realized Wu Lai’s guess might be correct.

But, would Rodrigo really want to kill them because of Proto’s death?

“Buzz…”

An Abyss Monster charged in their direction, simultaneously, a supremely dangerous aura approached.

“Catch.” Wu Lai threw Shava toward Asaka, Asaka directly caught her, and the next moment saw Wu Lai rushing directly at the monster, turning entirely golden, fist intent domineering, confronting the monster head-on.

A shaft of golden light pierced through the monster’s body, Wu Lai shouted, “Go.”

As the words fell, he turned and punched.

There, a shadow wrapped in Energy Storm charged with fearsome speed, killing in an instant.

Wu Lai knew for sure that if what he guessed was right and Rodrigo came to kill, he couldn’t possibly stop him, though he extremely hated Rodrigo, he had to admit Mystic God Ranking third’s power.

Thus, he only hoped to create one opportunity for Asaka, to get some distance, then threaten Rodrigo and survive.

“Bang…”

A brilliant light burst, the sharp object in the shadow was a Big Spear, carrying devouring darkness, it struck Wu Lai’s domineering punch light, then landed on Wu Lai’s fist.

In an instant, Wu Lai’s arm bones shattered, his right arm destroyed, yet he didn’t utter a sound of pain, to avoid affecting Asaka’s decision.

Indeed Rodrigo, Mystic God Temple Mystic God Ranking third, his charged blow was overly powerful, how could Wu Lai possibly withstand it, losing an arm directly, his body also sent flying.

Asaka held Shava, rapidly racing forward, she glanced back at Wu Lai, tears in the corner of her eye, but she also realized now was a life and death moment, she suppressed all emotions, charged forward at top speed.

“Uncle…”

Shava, held by Asaka, saw Wu Lai behind them, tears slid down her cheeks.

Was Uncle like this because he was protecting her?

She saw the shadow’s weapon pierced Uncle’s body, afterward Wu Lai still gripped the opponent tightly, trying to grasp a chance, but the next moment, his internal organs exploded, the Big Spear flung his body away.

Wu Lai’s gaze carried a hint of despair, yet he could no longer change anything.

“Shava, live well.”

Asaka opened her mouth to Shava, aware that she couldn’t escape either.

She placed Shava on the ground, then turned to face Rodrigo.

Rodrigo aimed to kill them.

“She knows nothing.”

Asaka spoke to the shadow, aware she couldn’t survive either, still hoping Rodrigo would spare Shava.

The shadow of Rodrigo didn’t utter a word, his form charged forward, instantaneously, killing intent surged.

Asaka’s gaze bore a bloody hue, knowing she would die, yet fearlessly charged at Rodrigo.

A moment later, the Big Spear likewise pierced through her armor, pinning her dead in midair.

Asaka lowered her head, looking at Rodrigo and glanced at Wu Lai’s distant corpse, remembering their frequent bickering, the ongoing arguments, this moment, Asaka seemed to realize her feelings weren’t just sibling-like.

But it was too late to tell him.

Recalling those bits, it wasn’t so painful now, she said the last words to Rodrigo, “Spare her.”

As the words fell, destructive energy churned within her body, and in an instant, Asaka’s life stopped at that moment, dying as she kept her sight toward Wu Lai’s side.

Rodrigo cast her corpse aside, then headed toward Shava.

Shava watched as the shadow approached step by step. She wasn’t afraid; the teary-eyed girl looked at Rodrigo with a gaze full of anger, only anger.

“Hah…”

Rodrigo saw the anger in the girl’s eyes and smirked sarcastically. He thrust forward with the Big Spear in his hand, and a young life was thus ended.

Rodrigo turned and cleaned up the battlefield, his heart as cold as a rock.

In this world, such fools still exist. If they don’t die, who should?

After dealing with the battlefield, Rodrigo turned around, carrying the Big Spear on his back, his silhouette slowly disappearing.

The person Rodrigo most wanted to kill wasn’t Wu Lai or Asaka, but Xu Mo.

But these two actually dared to accuse him of plotting against Proto after his death—inviting their own doom.

In that case, a couple more lives wouldn’t matter.

Next, it would be Xu Mo’s turn.

Don’t let him catch a chance.

Otherwise, kill!

This region remained chaotic, and soon after, a battle erupted here. As for the death of those few, it seemed insignificant in this storm.

Too many people died in the war, even top-tier Skywalkers at the school were dying constantly.

So, what’s the big deal if a few people die here?

Who would even care?

……

Not long after, on another battlefield.

Vera O’Brien was fighting someone, and below her was an escaping child.

The Mystic God Temple ordered to abandon the mission on Gaia and instead protect these children, most of the Transcendents of the Mystic God Temple were executing this order, and Vera O’Brien was one of them.

“Busybody.”

From the sky, a brilliant sword descended to slay, Vera O’Brien thrust her Flame Sword, intersecting in the air, and the storm of destruction roared.

“You guys go get him,” said a Skywalker from Saint Tiya Star, prompting another person to head downward.

But at this moment, a shadow from afar attacked at a terrifying speed. Bang… a loud noise, the person going after the child was sent flying by a spear—it was Rodrigo arriving.

“Vera, are you okay?” Rodrigo said.

“I’m fine,” Vera O’Brien replied, relaxing a bit seeing Rodrigo arrive; this place should be alright now.

The two Skywalkers who were against Vera O’Brien saw Rodrigo arriving and knew it was pointless to continue, coldly saying, “Mystic God Temple, we’ll remember this.”

With that, the two figures withdrew from this side.

After they left, Vera O’Brien spoke, “How about your side?”

“Saved one person, but this time, our Mystic God Temple may have offended a lot of forces,” Rodrigo said.

Vera O’Brien frowned, coldly saying, “This time, the people who came are from top forces across the universe. To take Gaia rightfully, yet they used such means, it’s disgraceful.”

“Mainly the Church, a bunch of hypocrites,” Rodrigo said.

Vera O’Brien nodded, her impression of the Church had never been worse.

They are a group of cosmic parasites.

After returning, the O’Brian Republic must limit the Church’s development within the republic to curb these parasites’ uncontrolled expansion.

Currently, Church followers are spread across major planets in the universe, their power too enormous. Without limitation, when chaos ensues, the Church will inevitably cause greater harm.

“Let’s settle him down first,” Vera O’Brien looked at the child below and said.

For some reason, Vera O’Brien now felt somewhat responsible. Coming to the Abyss, although the Abyss had many uncomfortable aspects, other forces in the universe didn’t seem much better.

Instead, Xu Mo, she was a bit worried about him.

However, Rodrigo and Xu Mo seemed to have a conflict, especially with Ryder’s death, which planted a thorn. She felt somewhat uncomfortable about it, hoping they could resolve it after returning to the Mystic God Temple.

Of course, the premise is Xu Mo can return.

Now, he represents the Abyss’ stance, and it’s likely the Abyss won’t let him go.

Thinking of this, Vera O’Brien felt a bit conflicted as she looked towards the school’s direction. Ultimately, it would depend on the outcome of this battle.

Xu Mo’s fate, she couldn’t predict, only worrying slightly.

At this moment, at the school’s direction, the battle had reached an intense phase.

After Gaia acknowledged his identity, Skywalkers from all major forces in the universe swarmed to kill.

Xu Mo, too, was swept up into the storm’s center, alongside Gaia.
